Everyone is looking forward to a festive hands-on celebration tomorrow for Yom Ha'atzmaut - Israel's 77th birthday! After a joyous musical start to the day, your children will be making their own orange juice, planting flowers to beautify our playground (as if they were decorating their own kibbutz), going on an archaelogical dig, visiting the Kotel, and much, much more! We can't wait!

As a reminder, Ronnie has been participating in Cohort 2 of the Shomer Collective, As part of Ronnie's participation, she has developed resources to bring conversations about end-of-life issues into our Nursery School community. It is not unusual for parents to turn to us with questions regarding young children’s participation in a funeral, attendance at a cemetery, or general questions regarding conversations about death, heaven, God, etc. Often these issues arise in the heat of the moment when a family death may occur, and parents may be at a loss as to how to handle these challenging times with their children. Please join in an evening of dialogue on Thursday, May 15 at 8:00PM at Beth El, where we will have an opportunity to discuss this important topic. Please click here to RSVP via email.
It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is drawing near. End of year celebrations for each class will be on the last day of school, Wednesday, June 11. Please find times for each age group's celebration below:
